SMART Recovery Family & Friends: SMART Recovery Family & Friends is a secular mutual support program for family and friends of individuals with addictive behaviours. The program is based on the tools of SMART Recovery and Community Reinforcement Approach & Family Training (CRAFT). Studies have shown that CRAFT results in a significantly higher rate of treatment entry for Loved Ones than Al-Anon or Johnson Intervention. At meetings, trained volunteer facilitators address specific issues encountered by family and friends of those with addictive behaviours. Tools consistent with evidence-based motivational and cognitive behavioural theories are also offered and discussed.
